Reputed to smell of chocolate, though I myself would not quite describe the smell that way. The other two species of Arthropodium in the area have anthers that are very hairy.

In my limited experience, the flowers smell more like chocolate scented hand cream. It seems more like the essence of the essence of chocolate...

Thanks Betty and Matt for your comments and ID. I am now really curious. If I happen to go back soon or come across another one of these, I'll be sure to check out its smell :D
